También muestra los factores que hacen de la meritocracia una potencial “democracia” con características chinas, explicando los elementos de la meritocracia a lo largo de la historia junto con las raíces del sistema nacional. Este artículo define tanto la meritocracia como la democracia y presenta ciertos factores que pueden sugerir que la meritocracia puede -por ahora- ser reconocida como una democracia incluso cuando no está completamente de acuerdo con los estándares occidentales. En toda la academia se entiende que no existe una forma única de democracia y que cada país adapta el sistema a sus propias características; haciendo posible que la meritocracia china -con los cambios culturales realizados- pueda ser mejor comprendida y aceptada como una de estas formas primarias de democracia.application/pdfengUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/map/article/view/7211https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/map/article/view/7211Copyright © 2021 Juliana Jiménez ArcilaAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Mundo Asia Pacífico, Vol. 10, Núm. 19 (2021)Meritocracy: China's form of democracyMeritocracia: La forma de democracia de Chinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlearticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1MeritocracygovernmentDemocracypolitical systempolitical differencespolitical organizationChinaMeritocraciaGobiernodemocraciasistema políticodiferencias políticasorganización políticaChinaJiménez Arcila, JulianaUniversidad EAFITMundo Asia Pacífico101912112910784/31029oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/310292022-03-23 11:59:35.141metadata.onlyhttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
